simple pleasures


mmmmm, Hows about a yummy mug of sugar, corn syrup solids, hydrogenated vegetable oil, possibly some coconut, palm kernal or soybean oil, modified milk ingredients, cocoa, cellulose gum, salt, dipotassium phosphate, silicon dioxide, artificial flavor, mono and diglicerides, guar gum, and sodium aluminium silicate! ( Carnation’ rich and creamy’ Hot Chocolate)

OR.… why not try this. Mix together equal parts of plain cocoa and sugar. Put in jar. Plop some in mug, add milk and stir. Sometimes I add some boiling water first and then top up with milk. You can heat in a small pan on stove or do it in a microwve. Use soy milk, rice milk etc. If you want to be fancy you can add some cinnamon or a pinch of cayenne. Try it in an individal serving first.

Makes a great gift. Now which would you prefer?
